Indonesia is a center of origin and cultivation of Salak (Salacca zalacca Gaertner Voss) with a wide range of quality fruit. Salak is one type of fruit that have a significant economic value as a commodity for domestic and export trade. Fruits are consumed as fresh fruit and can be made as processed food. Taste determining the selling fruits of salak. One of the taste determining is tannin content of fruit that causes fruit to taste sepet less preferred by consumers.
The first year research aims to determine the diversity of salak accessions based on the fruit tannin content, Grouping accessions of salak based on tannin content and to find a specific marker of the molecular levels of tannins. Methods of laboratory research conducted at the Molecular Biology Laboratory of Food Technology Faculty of UGM with tannin analysis and molecular diversity analysis performed by the method of RAPD.
